activities in south america. and even more concerning, venezuela is helping iran circumvent the security council's economic sanctions and is also suspected of providing tehran with uranium. finally, a smaller arab state in the gulf witness the rise in iranian power, a power that will be confirmed once it reaches the nuclear threshold, they, too, will follow this path and attempt to forge an alliance with this new regional superpower. for this reason, mr. speaker, it is crucial that congress move swiftly with the administration towards curtailing iran's nuclear ambitions. decades of inaction have allowed iran's influence to sweep across the globe. we cannot allow iran to move further as its influence creeps through our own hemisphere. back in the 1930's, as the power of nazi germany grew, people like winston churchill sounded the alarm, but all too often that alarm was ignored. the alarm is being sounded here in this chamber and it's being sounded across the world. we must act to stop the insidious influence of ir

miners are the basis for america's future. and it's true that miners work in a very dangerous profession, but there is absolutely no excuse for a tragedy like this one. we don't know yet the cause of this explosion, but the investigations have begun. we do know, however, that massey engineering, the mine owner, was -- had 450 safety regulations in 2009 for the upper big branch mine. massey said -- kept msha that could have led to a shutdown of the mine and it could have increased scrutiny of this owner. and possibly preventing these disasters. these appeals filed by the companies like massey have created a tremendous backlog at the review commission. a backlog that has increased from 1,500 cases in the year 2005 to 16,000 cases today. the review commission does not have the resource to resolve a backlog of this size in a timely fashion so we as members of congress must immediately provide the background and the legal authority for more funds to hire more administrative law judges so that we can expedite the appeals process. in

i have to wonder, america, -- mr. speaker, hearing democrats talking about cutting taxes more than any other congress in history. let me see if we can do this. they passed a budget with record taxes and spending, led $1 trillion to the national debt in the next years, they passed a national energy tax called cap and trade that will cause utility rates go up on small businesses, family farms and businesses across this country by hundreds of billions of dollars and we just passed obamacare with $600 billion of tax increases. they're standing in front of the american people on the day before tax day, on the day before tens of millions of americans that will take the street and say enough is enough and expect you to believe that they've been cutting taxes. well, i think the american people know better. i think the american people know what we really need here in washington, d.c., is less talk and more action. let's cut taxes for small businesses and family farms, get government under control, get government out of the way
